Understated Luxury Meets High-Function Design
When Sonia and Richard decided to remodel the kitchen in their classic Kalorama rowhome, they had a clear vision: design a space that complements the home’s architectural integrity while upgrading everything under the hood.
With daily cooking routines, frequent family visits, and a preference for clean lines over clutter, they turned to Bath Plus Kitchen for a full transformation—one that delivers modern performance with timeless style.

Design Style: Classic Shell, Clean Soul
The kitchen remodel channels a minimalist, cool-toned palette that’s both fresh and timeless. The Software finish—a sleek, steely blue-gray—grounds the cabinetry with a modern edge. It’s the kind of color that doesn’t scream for attention but quietly elevates everything around it. The homeowners opted for subtle sophistication over flashy finishes, choosing quality materials and seamless integration over trends. The result? A calm, composed kitchen that feels just right for its DC backdrop.

Fixtures and Finishing Touches

Designed for Real Life, Built for Kalorama
Sonia and Richard’s new kitchen doesn’t just look good—it works hard. From the island seating and trash pullouts to the cabinet drawer inserts and display shelving, everything was customized to make their routines smoother and their space smarter.
